Yeah. 50+ years ago when we marched to reclaim the night and keep women and children safe from predators, we were called far left. Strange, isn't it???

   

I guess the point is we're not supposed to have safe and cohesive communities, if we're kept in fear we're easier to control. 'Left' vs 'Right' is the dialectic to create a fake class war and divide us.

In England and Wales, it's 29.7% of pregnancies ending in abortion and likely to go up with the latest change in the law (1) (2).

 

A quick calculation (via copilot).  Current fertility rate in England is 1.49 children per woman (3); well below the 2.08 needed for replacement level.  

 

If abortion were banned, and all else being equal, it would raise the fertility rate to 2.11 which is just above replacement level.  (4) 

 

So it's one more way that modernity is killing off our civilisation.

(2)  https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-14890233/Abortion-record-high-experts-cost-living-crisis.html 

(3)  https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/birthsummarytablesenglandandwales/2022refreshedpopulations  

 

(4) 

 Live births in 2022: 605,479

 Abortions in 2022: 251,377

 Total pregnancies: 605,479 + 251,377 = 856,856 

That’s a 41.5% increase in births. So, the adjusted fertility rate would be: 1.49 x 1.415 = approx 2.11 

That’s above the replacement level of 2.08 children per woman, which is the threshold needed to maintain population size without immigration.

 

It would be interesting to know more about the abortion rates by 'ethnicity'.

 

Because thanks to social engineering and media propaganda, it is probably more likely that it is 'native' Brits that are choosing abortion because either they believe the 'climate change' nonsense, or they have decided that they simply cannot afford to responsibly raise a child.

 

In the meantime, I do note from sheer observation, that Asian and African women seem to have no issues with having large numbers of children, based on what I see while walking around some parts of Birmingham. 

 

This is one reason why I am cautious about backing calls for the '2-child' benefit cap to be raised - because I think it will end up being abused, and either attracts more immigrants to come to this country and be rewarded by producing offspring, or encourages more feckless child production amongst the lazy and unproductive native population of this country, that just rears another generation of entitled feral scroungers that contribute nothing to the economy through working.

There is a pie chart in the gov site when you scroll down (it's quite a big page). 

https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/abortion-statistics-for-england-and-wales-2022/abortion-statistics-england-and-wales-2022 

 

If anything, it's black, mixed and other that look over-represented. But there's a couple of caveats. 'White' includes both British and non-British white (other Europeans, Americans etc?). Also it says 'where ethnicity was recorded' which was only for 91% of the total. So we don't know which ethnic groups are less likely to declare it.

"It's ironic they were having a cultural diversity day but then decided to single out a group of people."

Union Jack dress row school forced to close early for summer over 'extremist threats'

from: https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/news/midlands-news/union-jack-dress-row-school-32085470

 

Now I don't advocate sending "extremist abuse" no matter your feelings, but I suspect this 'manufactured outrage' has been seized upon by some fringe morons who are now fuelling this "far-right" nonsense so many ordinary people are being tarred with. There's still no explanation given as to how exactly this Union Jack dress was deemed 'offensive' by the school, but are people slowly twigging on to what 'diversity' actually means? You can celebrate any other culture, but not your own!

 

Stuff like this is used by the MSM to fuel public anger, but not towards the PTB obviously. I note that a lot of anger was directed at the school itself and at some of the staff. And, at least subconsciously, without any rationale, some folks probably got more angry at immigrants and muslims in general. Classic PTB 'Divide And Conquer' tactics.

This is like most other problems in the UK. We build, build and build more homes and seemingly allow more people to enter the country without improving the infrastructure like reservoirs, schools, roads, NHS and so on. No wonder there is a shortage of everything.

 

We haven't been building more homes though. Not in any meaningful sense. It was a deliberate ploy of the PTB to not build anywhere near enough homes.

Quite a lot about measles being on the rise at the minute and a down take with the MMR vaccine. A child has died today who contracted measles, and no disrespect to the child or their family, but I haven’t forgotten how covid deaths were reported. They tell you they contracted measles or covid and then died but forget to mention they were in hospital for other serious issues beforehand or even mention if they were vaccinated or not in the first place.

 

If there wasn't more to this tragedy, then you can bet your bottom dollar that they would have somehow found a way of shouting as much from the rooftops. We always used to say something similar on the 'Coronavirus Mega-Thread'. If someone died 'unexpectedly', with nothing about their 'Covid' vaccination status reported, then they were nigh on certain to be vaccinated. Otherwise, back in the day, the MSM would have gloried in reporting on any 'unexpected' deaths of the unvaccinated.  We were virtually always, if not always, later proved right as well. Some historical news article, tweet or other social media post would usually emerge of the deceased verifying their 'Covid' vaccination and, in some cases, even promoting 'Covid' vaccination.

All this fuss over a fucking cookery show that's long past its sell by date anyway. Or is it just because these two blokes are "hideously white" as the saying goes.

 

Something like that has at least played a role in this. Even if not innocent of all wrongdoing, they have effectively been purged.

Brits could be banned from going on holiday as 'carbon passports' introduced

 

Quote

Carbon passports could be introduced to limit the frequency of foreign holidays for UK residents, as part of efforts to combat climate change. Tourism is a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for approximately one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the crisis.

 

https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/lifestyle/travel/brits-could-banned-going-holiday-35590068

 

Quote

The average annual carbon footprint for a person in the UK is 11.7 tonnes - over five times the figure recommended by the Paris Agreement to keep global temperature rise below 1.5°C. The global average is closer to 4 tonnes, and needs to drop to under 2 tonnes by 2050 to stand a chance of slowing climate change.

Brits could be banned from going on holiday as 'carbon passports' introduced

A new report has suggested that Brits could be banned from going on holiday as 'carbon passports' are introduced in a bid to slow down climate change

 

Carbon passports could be introduced to limit the frequency of foreign holidays for UK residents, as part of efforts to combat climate change. Tourism is a significant contributor to climate change, accounting for approximately one-tenth of the greenhouse gas emissions driving the crisis.

 

Ross Bennett-Cook, a visiting lecturer at the University of Westminster, stated: "The negative impacts of tourism on the environment have become so severe that some are suggesting drastic changes to our travel habits are inevitable.

 

Ross explained that the concept of a carbon passport involves assigning each traveller a yearly 'carbon allowance' that they cannot exceed. A similar idea, known as "personal carbon trading", was debated in the House of Commons in 2008.

Hmm, I wonder if I could sell my quota? I'd never use it as I don't have a passport.

Well its a way of restricting your freedom of movement so it doesn't matter if you travel abroad or not as eventually a carbon passport will be part of your digital ID and affect all areas of your life dictating what you can and can't do and where you can and can't go

I agree, there are a large number of housing developments underway or that have been completed, however I do not believe they are being bought by 'first-time buyers' who dream of owning their own home and getting 'on the property ladder', but instead they are being built for housing associations and investment companies (same thing really) so they can accommodate 'refugees and asylum-seekers' while being paid by local authorities and councils to do so. 

 

The devil as always is in the detail - look at when any new housing development is announced or approved, and look at the number or percentage of homes that will be considered 'affordable', it's usually quite low. No one can actually explain what "affordable" actually means; in my opinion if only 10% of the properties on some development are classed as 'affordable', then who can afford to buy the other 90%? Clearly not your average 'first-time buyer'.

The two key words here are 'could' and 'suggested'

 

That's just typical of the click-bait Reach mob. 

 

"Carbon trading" is just a scam, it becomes an excuse to rip people off by charging them more to take a trip on a plane that was going to make a journey anyway, regardless of how many people were on board. 

 

Anyway, thanks to 'global warming', you don't need to fly off to Spain, Greece or Turkey any more for 'great weather' during the summer, you can just stay at home now! 😎

Yes and 'trading' implies you need to buy credits on the markets to make trips, therefore restricting it to richer people like an extra tax. And of course this is on top of fuel duty & VAT. They know our carbon useage in our gas & electric, are gaining more data on our travelling in this country to include in the carbon allowance.   It all ties in with the 15 minute cities and at this rate we will eventually need to buy carbon credits for holidays in the UK, if too far away.   

    

You can already invest in carbon credits see for example https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/TCBN.TO/  although it's not made any money over the past few years.  They only gain value when they're enforced by the system.

I am no housing expert. I just know that there aren't enough houses around and that this is a situation that the PTB want. The fewer the folks who own their own homes, then the more controllable society is. Aren't 'x' amount of homes in some new housing developments supposed to be classed as 'affordable' by law? Or, is that something that was just being considered? Whatever the definition they were using to attach to the term 'affordable'.

There is always an exemption for the PTB. The 'Coronavirus Act' even allowed for travelling abroad to tend to a second home. 😀

Correct on the second point. This "not enough houses" BS keeps on. WHY aren't there enough? Where have all these apparently millions of ppl needing a home so desperately that they're digging up every piece of green-belt land come from?

 

It's a manufactured demand. Kicking ppl (or pricing them) out of most places in and around London (as they're now the domain of you-know-who), so they flock to new builds in the sticks. What's caused this surge in population growth that requires so many properties? Rhetorical question, obvs.

I remember a while back, there was some 'outrage' about some rich couple flying out to a wedding or party or something somewhere, and then stepped up Elton John of all people, who announced that it was all okay because he'd paid for or exchanged carbon credits on their behalf. So there you go, just dip your hands into your pockets, and the global warming problem just goes away!

I'm no housing expert either. Developers and local authority planning departments keep throwing around this word "affordable" like it means something, there's no clear definition. If 100% of new housing developments are not 'affordable', then what is the point? If ordinary people can't afford to buy these new homes, then who are they being built for?

With 'natural' population growth, there's always an element of expansion. 

 

At the 'micro-level', me and my two siblings grew up in a house with our parents. As we get older and want to move out, that means there needs to be three homes that we can move into and occupy. Of course, a lot of 'natural' population growth can feed into existing housing stock, for example when occupiers get old and die, so their property goes back onto the market, for someone else to buy and make use of. 

 

I know that questions can be asked, like do my parents even need a three-bed house now? The short answer is 'no', however it's their house, it's paid for, and they have two spare rooms so family and friends can come over and stay when they visit. I know there's been a big push in recent years to build 'retirement villages', nearby Shirley in Solihull is notorious for these. The theory being that couples can 'downsize' their family home, and move into a 'modern' one/two bed apartment, with all the facilities they could need on their doorstep. And the theory is that this means that 3/4 bed 'family sized homes' can be freed up for first-time buyers to buy and occupy, especially those who have young families.

 

It's a sound enough theory, but it's not what is happening - these homes go onto the market and get snapped up by investors who convert them into HMOs.

 

Meanwhile there are thousands of new build developments happening on the outskirts of cities and major towns, but there is little to no thought given as to public transport provision. As a potential first-time buyer, what use to me is a property on the outskirts of Lichfield, if I need to commute into Birmingham, because I don't own a car? 

 

I've mentioned in another thread here about my observations on travelling by bus recently through a new development in the south-west of Birmingham - lots of lovely new-build homes that seem to be predominantly occupied by what can best be described as 'non-native', ie people who aren't white. 

 

I'm currently renting a nice little property that suits my needs and is affordable, but while I would like to buy something for myself, I can't afford to buy anything decent here in Birmingham, and I have no interest in buying a 'luxury apartment' in the city centre. For what I would pay to buy a one-bedroom flat here, I could get a three-bed maisonette out in some rural coastal town/village. Do I 'need' a three-bed property? No, but it's nice to have, if I want to have family/friends staying over...

In the latest NEXUS Mag there is  is an article  that states 

A group of government backed, globalist funded (WEF and Gates Foundation )Dutch scientists  are celebrating after developing a mutant  strain of bird flu that spreads rapidly through humans and causes death in every single mammal that becomes infected.

The researchers used gain of function to modify the virus so it can jump from birds to mammals, with a 100% fatality rate.

The article is more in-depth but you get the idea

Maybe not enough homes, but they certainly are building more. Every new home is an extra burden on the same, tired old reservoir.

 

Near where I live every plot of available land is turned into a new build estate.

That is not the question, there could be any number of reasons( usually money, timing and power or a combination there of), for what reason are they producing these things in the first place seems to be the more pertinent question in my estimation
